del.icio.usA modernist riff on the courtyard-centric style of Mediterranean architecture is rising in Clinton Hill.
Two curved-glass, six-story buildings will mirror each-other across a green divide, complete with a central reflecting pool and lawn furniture, on two conjoined lots stretching from Vanderbilt to Clermont avenues.
“It’s a unique building in Clinton Hill,” said David Stuart, an associate at the architecture firm, Meltzer/Mandl Architects, which designed the project. “This center court, which we sometimes like to think of as an oasis, with these cascading balconies, it’s not really a New York kind of model. It’s almost kind of Mediterranean or southern.”
The prices for entry into this modern-day oasis are, surprisingly, somewhat manageable, considering the development’s location between Willoughby and Myrtle avenues in prime Fort Greene.
The 73 condos should range in price from $250,000 for a studio to $1.1 million for a three-bedroom. The buildings, which replaced two commercial warehouses, are slated for completion in the summer of 2008.
